Jack O'Lanterns and Ghoulish Gourds

Jumping Jack O'Lanterns Ichabod...it's almost Hallowe'en!  My, my, my.... how the magical month of October seems to fly by so fast!  Wish it would linger for awhile.  Speaking of Jack O'Lanterns, for today's Halloween Countdown post I thought I'd share some images of my favorite Jack O'Lantern's that I've found on the internet.  I'm of the belief that every Jack O'Lantern, just like every person.....has their own unique personality!  And although I have never met a single Jack O'Lantern that I didn't love...I do tend to favor ones that have a mischievous, primitive or grimacing gaze to them.  And although I do love the traditional Orange Pumpkin, I must confess that I'm actually more smitten with the Green and White varieties, especially if they have lumps, bumps, stripes and warts!  Call me odd...but I can't help what I find fascinating, and for me....the uglier the Pumpkin, the more I seem to adore it!  So without further adieu...I present my favorite Ghoulish Gourds.

 Oh...and one more thing....because I would be remiss if I didn't give The Pumpkin Man his due each October....at the bottom of this post for your squeamish pleasure....please enjoy another rousing Annual Rendition of "The Pumpkin Man Dance"!
